偶然，读到朋友MSN的personal message:
爱一个人，并不需要对方是多么的棒，或多么多么的优秀，
只要跟他／她在一起时，感到安全，幸福，轻松。
爱一个人，并不是挑最好的，而是挑一个最适合自己的人。

新年沉思
连续两年，都无法回乡过年。
去年是为了留在蕉赖UCSI闭门苦读，应付考试；今年呢，却身在异乡，无法回去。同样的是，依然是为了学业。
吃团圆饭时呼喊，坐在庭院外守夜、接财神，与表兄弟姐妹一起谈天说笑，这一切，唯有追忆回两年前的情景，而慢慢咀嚼。
忽然，想起小学时，通常老师都会在新年前两个星期，在音乐课里，叫我们唱新年歌曲。
“每条大街小巷，每个人的嘴里，见面第一句话，就是恭喜恭喜。。”
当年的喜悦和期待，仍然历历在目。
中学时，虽然没有老师唱歌，却也有学校的广播学会，播放新年歌，举办挥春比赛。还记得，一月虽然已经开学，读书的心情，却是在新年假期回来后，才会慢慢培养出来。
春满人间的喜气洋洋，让人向往。
来到这里，春节没有什么特别。毕竟是别人的国家嘛，是有点儿难的。新年歌曲？自己download吧。哈哈。
新年的跫音虽然已近，却丝毫没有什么感觉。反而，要为课业上的问题而烦恼，再加上天气不测风云，下的雪，又好像下雨酱，搞到整个春节，冷冷清清，安安静静。
不知道，大马那边的朋友，最近又如何了呢？拜年的习俗，最为津津乐道就是当初和一班朋友，驾着自家的Kancil,兜完整个芙蓉。
在此，祝贺大家，“虎年行大运” =）

感触：文字与音乐
最近都用英文来写部落格，突然之间，又好像有如此的矛盾，到底应该把整个部落格转换为英文，亦或是华文，还是延续现在的双语并用，不伦不类。
但是，还是那句，用中文来书写抒情文章，无论如何，应该比较贴切。
今晚去看了King's College London 的大马之夜- Love Song for No One，一股感触涌上心来，似曾相识的梦，在动听的音乐和浪漫式的剧本交织下，特别美妙。
那舞剧里，纯纯的情，淡淡的香，就像那可爱的蜜蜂，耐心的飞舞着，等待那花苞绽放的时刻。
微微的雨滴，着落在朦胧的友情，在那线上徘徊，犹豫着越过的可能性。
漫步中的缓慢，并不是故意的，而是不知不觉中，像春暖花开般，那么自然，那么怡人。
我相信，有文字的世界，必定有音乐的存在。只因，没了音乐，文字就像深夜在伦敦地铁里，黯然看着窗口的搭客；没了文字，音乐，就像没有观众的演奏会。
爱上文字的，爱上音乐的，想必都是抒情之友，性情中人。

Words behind a Wallpaper
A young boy who views the world from a different angle. Besides, he loves to joke around and mingle with new friends. So, he takes a box and covers his face. There are certain things which he feels that it's better to be kept to himself, rather than revealing them.
A good weather and a green hill, yet he is alone, overlooking what is below the hill. Sometimes, you need to do things alone and think alone.
It's the silence that will bring you towards the serenity of souls.
It's the serenity that helps you see through things you might have missed in the daily hustle and bustle.
If you happen to stumble on my blog, ask yourself, have you treated yourself nice lately?
I love this picture. I just don't know why. Perhaps I see myself inside? ^^

Life is a Laugh
Sometimes, you thought you are fixing a thing. But, in fact things are done even before you have tried to fix.
Sometimes, when you are busy catching something which is uncertain, you might have missed something nice which could have happened.
At this moment, what you can do is-to laugh at yourself.

Realization of a Frog
It has been a long time since I attended a talk, be it an inspirational speech or a general world issues discussion.
That day after my lectures, I went to attend this talk by the excutive editor of The Economist, Daniel Franklin in Imperial.
Pretty much a general talk, discussing about the world in 2010. He gave his opinions on the events which are going to happen in 2010.
In chronological order, here goes some of the significant events.
Jan 2010- Post- Copenhagen period. A conference which aims to review the Kyoto Protocol which is going to expire in the year 2012. But, it did not yield any encouraging results.
April 2010- Run-up to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference. Obama Nuclear-free-world speech in Prague. Iran and N.Korea are the two countries in discussion.
May 2010- British General Election. David Cameron (Conservatives) vs Gordon Brown (Labour).
May 2010- Start of Shanghai Expo. Rivalry between Shanghai and Beijing emerges, as Beijing was the host for 2008 Olympics Game.
June 2010- World Cup in South Africa. First time being held in the African continent. The significance are (demographic dividend, investment from China/India, etc).
August 2010- Combat troops of US will retreat from Iraq by this month.
September 2010- UN General Assembly. A new form of global governance and interactions. G8, G20 etc. As US and China are gradually appearing as the world most influential nations, it's time to hold a G2 meeting.
October 2010- Brazil election. It's now important because it's one of the member in BRIC (Brazil, Russia India and China). However, Russia current economy seems to be dwindling down.
November 2010- Asia Games in Guangzhou.
- APEC Summit in Yokohoma.
- US Mid-term election. Time to review Obama's performances and popularity.
In general, the world in 2010 is full of tribulations. Basically, China is the main attention of the year, especially for the people in business field.
Well, after listening to his talk, although I felt so tired (even slept while he was delivering his speech), I was glad to be there that night.
I couldnt believe that after three-four months in Imperial, my life has changed tremendously. I used to read at least one or two newspapers and comment on some of the issues back then. But now, I buried my nose into the books and literally got out of touch from the world.
Here, current issues do not really matter, I guess? I remembered that I used to discuss and debate with a friend about political matters, and from vowing to change the situations, to losing the momentum to do so. How pathetic!
As the Malay proverb goes, "katak di bawah tempurung". Well, I guess the books are the tempurung for me now.

周末·无聊·遐想
又是周末了。Spring Term 的第一个星期，就这样，忙与盲中，过去了。
看不见的遥远，却在近在眼前的内心，开始担忧。
无形的压力，就像牢房锁着向往自由的心，压抑着思绪的飞翔。
这星期的某一天，看见了雪白色的Hyde Park，连草地与道路也模糊了。心中也飘起阵阵感动。
因为无聊，所以撰写诗词最为恰当。呵呵。
“下雪了，感到寒冷，只因心中孤寂；感到温暖，只因心中有爱。”

晚餐后的思索
一顿晚餐，竟得搞到9时晚上才有得享用。肚子叽里咕噜了，却还得耐心地听完其演讲，然后还要聚精会神地听别人发问。
无可否认，有些问题，的确是有些水准；有些呢，则应该留给自己想吧！说了出来，又不见得会带来什么影响；有时候，反而还会怀疑自己是否问错问题呢？因为，不止答非所问，有时甚至还会带你游花园。
好像今天晚上与副首相会晤的节目一样，平淡的来，带点烦闷；精彩的来，带点不切实际。有些问题的确问到不错，可是深一层去想，问了出来，和没有问出来，有差别吗？
很多问题，其实都是老调重弹。
人才外流，老早就发生了。数理以国语来教，意见都要发霉了。
现在真正发生的事情，却一笔带过。教堂纵火事件，是不是又因为为了保护所谓的“社会安全”，而慢慢地在报章上消失了？
算了吧。。有些时候，吃饱晚餐，寒暄两句，就可以闲话家常了。有些东西，就当着新闻来看，不需要知道太多，就行了。
